And stop touching it:
A law enforcement official, who asked not to be named because he was not authorized to speak about the case, said Stenroos was mishandling a firearm when he was shot, but he did not go into any more detail.
Claimed he was shot by someone, setting off a manhunt.

Hah! This incident happened at my high school. My mom lives a couple miles away and she said she’d never seen so many helicopters in the air at one time.
